I've played around a bit, and this is what I hacked together based on your CV design using tbl: .\" .\" ---------------------------------------------------------------- .sp 3c .ll 15c .po 3c .nr In 3c .\" ---------------------------------------------------------------- .de Date .sp 2 .in 0 .ft 2 .. .de Company 'in \\n(Inu \h'\\n(Inu-\\n(.ku'\c .ft 3 .ad l .. .de Desc .br \v'-.5m'\h'-\\n(.iu'\D'l \\n(.lu 0' .ft 1 .ad b .. .de BL .in +2n .. .de LE .sp .2 .in -2n .. .de LI .sp .2 \Z'\h'-1.3n'\[bu]'\c .. .\" ---------------------------------------------------------------- .Date Since 05/2006 .Company My Company in Downtown which has a very long name and needs at least two lines to print (just for fun) .Desc This is the role I occupied .BL .LI Working on this .LI Working on that (the description of which is also rather long, so we can test what happens when it needs more than one line) .LI Achieved lots of things .LE But now, this is going to be a rather lengthy description of a task that I had which is so long that groff is complaining about the length of the line .Date 07/2003\[en]04/2006 .Company Yet Another Company I Worked For .Desc The role I had there .BL .LI Some more tasks .LI You will get the idea .LE .\" ----------------------------------------------------------------
